Abstract
[Problem] To provide means for detecting heart failure more simply and highly accurately. [Solution Means] A method of detecting heart failure from a sample collected from an organism, the method comprising the step of: performing sandwich immunoassay of NT-proANP or a fragment thereof contained in the sample using a first antibody for capturing for which an epitope lies on any site among positions 31 to 67 of an amino acid sequence of NT-proANP and a second antibody for labeling for which an epitope lies on any site among positions 31 to 67 of the amino acid sequence of NT-proANP, and the like. The epitopes of the two types of antibodies: one for capturing and the other for labeling, both of which lie among positions 31 to 67 of the amino acid sequence of NT-proANP. This, therefore, enables detention of a fragment having the same amount of substance as NT-proANP and simple and highly accurate detection of heart failure, even if NT-proANP is further cleaved and decomposed into 3 pieces during circulation in blood.
